Given the globalized online world we live in, learning a new language has never been easier - nor as interactive, interesting, and social! From Twitter to blogs to social networks, there are numerous ways you can start your social language learning and keep it up while making new friends.

Looking to learn a new language this summer? Then give this list a good look. The folks at Universitiesandcolleges.org have created "The Master List of Free Language Learning Resources," which pulls together materials found across a range of different media. Here, you'll find podcasts, open courses, iphone apps, and more. And the list notably includes our ever-popular collection of Free Foreign Language Lesson Podcasts, which will teach you about 40 different languages. Just download the podcasts to your computer or mp3 player and you'll be learning new languages on the go, at no cost.

Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web. Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. As they create and share Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

When I give worksheets with questions on them my students immediately type the entire question into the omniscient search box on Google and in an instant, they have their answer. They have expended absolutely zero energy or effort to find the answer and as a result will not remember the question or the answer. There are two solutions to this problem: 1. Ban the use of Google by all school-aged children. 2. Learn to write "Google-proof" questions.

This is an opportunity to define the ideas (or "theses") that form the foundation of School 2.0. This is definitely a collaborative effort, and we want you to add to the idea list. Please add new ideas to the bottom of the list. Direct quotes should be attributed. If you need help using a wiki (or are unfamiliar with the Wikispaces conventions), please click here. If you are very interested in this dialog, you should consider subscribing to this page or to the whole wiki, which you can do from the "notify me" tab above. (Email notification is more efficient as it is easier to see changes in that format.)

The NIST Handbook of Mathematical Functions, together with its Web counterpart, the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF), is the culmination of a project that was conceived in 1996 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The project had two equally important goals: to develop an authoritative replacement for the highly successful Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables, published in 1964 by the National Bureau of Standards (M. Abramowitz and I. A. Stegun, editors); and to disseminate essentially the same information from a public Web site operated by NIST. The new Handbook and DLMF are the work of many hands: editors, associate editors, authors, validators, and numerous technical experts.
